    You might want to say how much one is saving off the regular price, as opposed to the saving in between the previous time this was discounted and now..

  • augv on 05/01/2012 - 14:08

    Not going to neg because I can't confirm it but I'm sure I've seen the same kind of set cheaper at Kmart.

        • chacha on 05/01/2012 - 17:19

          I bought this last time, its very good. Last time I checked the onces at Kmart didnt seems to be good quality. Unless Kmart stock is different from the previous one I would stay with this.

    • BlueMM on 05/01/2012 - 22:06

      It used to be cheaper -> Aerial 10kg Dumbbell set $19 ($38pair) @ Kmart. But that was a clearance, looks like they have switched to the 20kg pair set, think I saw it for ~$55.

  • thackleberry on 05/01/2012 - 14:15

    All I know is I can't fathom how they can ship 20kg for $5.99

    • slix_88 on 05/01/2012 - 14:17

      I do know most couriers charge based on volume rather than weight. The couriers handling these packages will surely be getting a workout

    • kirynflare on 05/01/2012 - 14:18

      They've increased it to $8.99 this year, but also reduced the product price by $5. Overall it's still cheaper though!

    • cash8 on 05/01/2012 - 15:29

      No. $9 courier fee for this product only coz they are very heavy. The others are still $6

    • fchis on 05/01/2012 - 19:20

      They have a contract with Aust post with flat rate charge for all parcels but they need to reach a certain volume to get the flat rate.

      I have the KMart ones, they are $59 though I picked mine up for $20 because on of the clips on the case was broken. They look identical to the set posted here but with a black box. Good deal IMO.

      • j4ck on 05/01/2012 - 17:54
        +1

        Yep. $59 it is.

        I'll grab a set from this bargain then!

  • morpheu on 05/01/2012 - 14:50

    i've got this type, they do not use locking collars just the spin kind with the rubber o-ring, after a while they will come loose and you have to stop and tighten them, maybe you could clamp the ends but it looks too "redneck"?! lol

    • tryonthis on 05/01/2012 - 15:15

      In light of the 'coming loose' issue, do you think this is a good buy?

      • Elijha on 05/01/2012 - 15:45
        +2

        It's the style all ring / spin lock weights I have used / seen suffer from this. It really just means before you use them give em a slight tighten, other wise you might get a little wobble and over a longer period a little loose - however it would be blatantly obvious before they come close to anything like falling off.

        • SilentH on 05/01/2012 - 16:28
          +1

          Agree with Elijha. I have 2 of these sets and they are fine.

    • Gnostikos on 05/01/2012 - 17:36

      That's not the main issue using unsheathed dumbbells.

      Buy. Some. Gloves. Pronto. Proper weightlifting gloves.

      These types of dumbbells with no grip sheath over the bar seriously chaff your hands. Particularly if they have little indented patterns, to simulate grip. I have the hardened calluses on my fingers to prove it.

  • dan76n on 05/01/2012 - 14:50

    $2.20 per kg is good for the weights alone

    • dan76n on 05/01/2012 - 20:12

      Oops you only get 16kg so that's about $2.75 per kg. still pretty good though.

  • alfy on 05/01/2012 - 15:01

    Anyone know the maximum weight you can put on the bars?

    • Redmo0n on 05/01/2012 - 15:10
      +1

      Probably more than you can lift with one hand..

    • HotKgon on 05/01/2012 - 15:35

      I would like to know this too.
      Are you able to get the whole 20kg onto one bar?

      • ant-ant on 05/01/2012 - 16:10

        No the max you would be able to fit is 18 since both bars are 2kg each. I doubt you would be able to load more than 15kg on it that is 4 x 2.5 + 2 x 1.25.

        That said the set will be good for beginners but you would need to buy more weights or join a gym in a few months.

        • SilentH on 05/01/2012 - 16:34

          I can get 8 x 2.5KG weights on one bar. The collars are not on much but enough to do the job. I have been using them for a year now without any problems, although I only do slow/steady moves with them (not because of the weights but because of what I do). If you do quick curls or other exercises with them them i don't recommend all 8 but you could get 6 x 2.5KG for sure.

    • Gnostikos on 05/01/2012 - 17:40

      The most that'll actually FIT properly on a dumb-bell bar like this is 13-16kg depending on the thickness of the plates, the collars and the size of the grip.
      I have no experience with this set itself but I have at least 3 dumbbell sets from various manufacturers and you can't physically cram much more than 16kg onto on dumbbell.

    • niknah on 05/01/2012 - 23:22

      They look similar to the ones that I have, I've been able to put 40kgs on each, and they could probably fit more. If they're the same thickness as the longer bars, you should be able to put more on these than the longer bars since they're shorter and won't bend as much.

  • Domingo on 05/01/2012 - 15:11

  • rockinrors on 05/01/2012 - 15:39

    Can you buy random weights (say, from rebel) and put them on these bars?
    Is there some sort of universal bar size and shape so that they will fit on properly?

    • cloudy on 05/01/2012 - 15:49
      +1

      Not always universal, I have some weights that won't fit on my long bar

    • Kill Joy on 05/01/2012 - 16:00

      • cohunas on 05/01/2012 - 16:19
        +3

        Most weight plates you can buy have holes of 29mm diameter these days so pretty much any weight plates will fit on these 23mm bars but I would steer clear of Rebel sport for weight plates - they charge around $4 a kg.

        You can find cheaper plates (ie around $2:50 a kg) at gym equipment stores - google "cheap weight plates".

        Most dumbbells / barbells in the non olympic style (olympic bars are twice as thick on the ends) are 27mm-28mm these days. These ones are only 23mm in diameter which is interesting - I wouldn't stack too much weight on them on lift 'em over your head..

      • cash8 on 05/01/2012 - 16:21

        good idea…

    • qwijibo on 05/01/2012 - 18:31

      I bought some extra plates from bigw when they were on special some months back, and they work fine. i.e. same size hole.

      I'd suspect any from bigw, kmart, amart, rebel, would work fine.

  • Cheap Rich Guy on 05/01/2012 - 23:31

    Been using these for a while and combined with a daily protein shake, I've gotten some good results.

    • superadmin on 05/01/2012 - 23:46

      I have heard protein shakes can be a waste of $ and long term may not even be good for your health. Is there a real point to putting on all this bulk? Is it good for health? or have guys started to feel the insecurity and this is something like a cosmetic trend?

      • lonewolf on 06/01/2012 - 00:10
        +1

        protein shakes are (majority of the time) made from dairy protein. It is the same as taking skim milk powder or even milk but at a much more concentrated format as you rule out the excess carbs and fat that milk / skim milk powder contains. It is perfectly natural if you consider dairy or eggs natural and has no bad side effects except for similar ones that you can get from taking too much milk. Which would generally be lactose issues or casein protein issues (if you buy casein protein and not whey protein).

        It is not about bulking up as making sure your body has the optimum levels of protein it needs for repair and recovery after a weights session. Bulking occurs when you take more calories in than your body uses up on a daily basis. There are protein powders made for bulking which generally means they have added fats (sometime healthy fats and other times cheaps and nasty fats so make sure you keep track of what fats are added) as well as added carbs and again sometimes the carbs are healthy good carbs and other times can be carbs that are cheap and possibly high up in the GI ratings.

      • Cheap Rich Guy on 06/01/2012 - 00:12

        If the bulk is muscle then it's ok and has the advantage of burning off fat. As for protein shakes, excessive protein can cause kidney problems but if you're working out you do need extra protein. The daily amount varies between 1.2 grams to 1.8 grams per kg of body weight depending on what exercise you do during the day. I'm in IT so I spend a lot of the day sitting at a computer which definitely is not healthy. So to counter this I do weights a few times a week. It also helps my mental well being and my golf.
